Complete thermodynamic analysis of the interaction of iron phosphate (FePO4) with hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO)

Iron phosphate in the composition of concentrate is a fairly strong chemical compound. However, with the help of gaseous substances, such complex compounds decompose when heated to the required temperature, which contributes to the reduction of not only iron, but also phosphorus. Hydrogen and carbon monoxide were used as gaseous reducing agents. This article describes in detail the thermodynamic analysis of the reduction of phosphorus from iron phosphate, its interaction with hydrogen and carbon monoxide
